Here is a passage about Socrates and his household in Greek. I've added Latinized Greek for those not familiar with the Greek letters.
ὁ Σωκράτης Ἀθηναῖός ἐστιν. ὁ Σωκράτης ἐν ταῖς Ἀθήναις οἰκεῖ μετὰ τῆς γυναῖκος καὶ μετὰ τῶν παίδων. ἡ γυνὴ Ξανθίππη ἐστὶν. ἡ γυνή ὀλβία αἰεί ἐστιν · ὁ γὰρ Σωκράτης ἐστὶν οὐδέποτε κατ'οἶκον. ὁ γὰρ Σωκράτης ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ, ἀλλὰ οὐδέποτε μετὰ τῶν παίδων ἐστι κατ'οἶκον.
ho Sōkrátēs Athēnaĩόs estin. ho Sōkrátēs en taĩs Athḗnais oikeĩ metà tē̃s gunaĩkos kaì metà tō̃n paídōn. hē gunḕ Xanthíppē estìn. hē gunḗ olbía aieí estin ; ho gàr Sōkrátēs estìn oudépote kat'oĩkon. ho gàr Sōkrátēs en tē̃ͅ agorãͅ, allà oudépote metà tō̃n paídōn esti kat'oĩkon.
I'll leave it to your imagination to picture it with some of the vowels compressed out and some common words like kai ("and") to possibly be written more simply or phonetically (e.g., qy).
Here is Geoffrey's interpretation of the first part of the VMS:
[pilcrow] est(i) stom[a] ar[a] skhem[a] mon[o] ; thors[os] khairet[ai] stor[yi] , monos thors[os] thel[ei] eros
The first thing I notice is the different grammatical placements and structures, and the absence of some common words, and then I realized it's really not enough text to know if this is just a quirk of the writer or a problem with the method/translation. (And yes, I realize Judeo-Greek is not Greek, just as Yiddish is not German.)
I also agree with Marco that there's a lot of leeway when the translator is choosing which vowels to insert.
